Description
N-Aryl-substituted tetrahydrophthalimides which have a herbicidal action are known. For example, EP-A-207,894 describes tetrahydrophthalimides of of the formula I' ##STR2## where the radicals have for example the following meanings:
Ra and Rb are identical or different and each is hydrogen or halogen;
Rc and Rd together denote, inter alia, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 -C3 -alkylene bridge; and
Re is, inter alia, hydrogen, cyano or C1 -C4 -alkyl.
However, the action of these compounds is unsatisfactory at low application rates.
The object of the invention was therefore to provide N-phenyltetrahydrophthalimide compounds which have, at low application rates, a better action on unwanted plants without damaging crop plants.
We have now found that tetrahydrophthalimides of the formula I ##STR3## where R1 is hydrogen or halogen, R2 is halogen, R3 is hydrogen or C1 -C4 -alkyl, R4 is unsubstituted or C1 -C3 -alkoxy-substituted C1 -C8 -alkyl, C3 -C4 -alkenyl or C3 -C4 -alkynyl, and R5 is hydrogen or C1 -C4 -alkyl, have an advantageous herbicidal action particularly when applied postemergence, and are selective in a number of crop plants.
By halogen, we mean fluorine, chlorine and bromine, halogen for R1 preferably being fluorine and for R2 preferably chlorine.
The term alkyl embraces straight-chain and branched radicals, e.g., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and isopropyl.
The alkenyl and alkynyl radicals may also be straight-chain or branched. Examples of alkenyl radicals in formula I are 2-propenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, and 2-isobutenyl, especially 2-propenyl and 2-butenyl; alkynyl radicals are usually propargyl, 2-butynyl and 3-butynyl.
The invention embraces the enantiomers, the diastereomers and mixtures thereof.
The N-substituted tetrahydrophthalimides are obtainable from 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and an aniline of the formula V, e.g., in a solvent at a temperature of from 20° to 200° C., preferably 40° to 150° C. Suitable solvents are for example lower alkanoic acids such as glacial acetic acid or propionic acid, or aprotic solvents such as toluene or xylene in the presence of acidic catalysts such as aromatic sulfonic acids.
Preferred compounds I are those in which R1 is hydrogen or fluorine, R2 is chlorine, R3 is C1 -C2 -alkyl, R4 is C1 -C4 -alkyl, C3 -C4 -alkenyl or C3 -C4 -alkynyl and R5 is hydrogen or methyl.
The anilines of the formula V are obtained for example by reducing a nitrobenzene IV having the appropriate acetal structure by means of reducing agents such as iron or tin(II) salts. ##STR4##
The reduction can also be carried out as a catalytic hydrogenation with a noble metal catalyst such as platinum or palladium, or with Raney nickel under relatively mild conditions.
Nitroacetals IV are accessible by reaction of an appropriate benzaldehyde II in an inert solvent in the presence of an acid with a diol of the formula III: ##STR5##
The recommendations given in the examples below were employed to obtain further compounds of the general formula I using different starting compounds. These compounds and their physical data are given in the following table. Compounds without any physical data may be obtained from the corresponding materials in analogous manner. Because of their close structural similarity to the manufactured and investigated compounds they are expected to have a similar action.
(a) 19.4 g of n-butyl 2,3-dihydroxyisobutyrate is added to 18.6 g of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzaldehyde and 0.5 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 250 ml of toluene, and the mixture is refluxed for 5 hours using a water separator. The mixture is cooled, the solvent is removed and the remainder is dried in a high vacuum. There is obtained 35 g of 3-(5-methyl-5-n-butyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-4-chloronitrobenzene (oil).
(b) While refluxing, 34.4 g of the above nitro compound in 20 ml of methanol is added to a mixture of 16.8 g of iron powder in 30 ml of methanol and 75 ml of glacial acetic acid. The mixture is refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling, 250 ml of water is added and the mixture is subjected to suction filtration. The filtrate is extracted three times, each time with 100 ml of ethyl acetate, dried, concentrated and dried in a high vacuum. There is obtained 31 g of 3-(5-methyl-5-n-butyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-4-chloroaniline (oil).
(c) 15.7 g of the above aniline and 7.6 g of cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride are refluxed for 5 hours in 150 ml of glacial acetic acid. After cooling, 150 ml of water is added, followed by extraction twice with 100 ml of methylene chloride, drying and removal of the solvent. The product is purified by chromatography and dried in a high vacuum. There is obtained 9.0 g of N-[3-(5-methyl-5-n-butyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-4-chlorophenyl]-3.4.5.6-tetrahydrophthalimide (oil) (Table 1, no. 1.027).
Table 1 contains further examples of active ingredients which can be prepared by this synthesis principle.

The herbicidal agents, or the active ingredients on which they are based, may be applied pre- or postemergence. If certain crop plants tolerate the active ingredients less well, application techniques may be used in which the herbicidal agents are sprayed from suitable equipment in such a manner that the leaves of sensitive crop plants are if possible not touched, and the agents reach the soil or the unwanted plants growing beneath the crop plants (post-directed, lay-by treatment).
The application rates depend on the objective to be achieved, the time of the year, the plants to be combated and their growth stage, and are from 0.005 to 3.0, preferably 0.01 to 0.5, kg/ha.
The action of the active ingredients of the formula I on the growth of plants is illustrated in greenhouse experiments.
The vessels employed were plastic flowerpots having a volume of 300 cm3 and filled with a sandy loam containing about 3.0% humus. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately, according to species.
For the postemergence treatment, either plants which had been sown in the pots and grown there were selected, or they were cultivated separately as seedlings and transplanted to the pots a few days before being treated.
Depending on growth form, the plants were grown to a height of from 3 to 15 cm before being treated with the active ingredients which were suspended or emulsified in water and sprayed through finely distributing nozzles. The application rate for postemergence treatment was 0.06 kg/ha.
The pots were set up in the greenhouse, species from warmer climates in warmer areas (20° to 35° C.) and species from moderate climates at 10° to 20° C. The experiments were run for from 2 to 4 weeks. During this time the plants were tended and their reactions to the various treatments assessed.
The assessment scale was 0 to 100, 100 denoting nonemergence or complete destruction of at least the visible plant parts, and 0 denoting no damage or normal growth.
The plants used in the greenhouse experiments belonged to the following species:

______________________________________
To increase the spectrum of action and to achieve synergistic effects, the N-phenyltetrahydrophthalimides of the formula I may be mixed with each other, or mixed and applied together with numerous representatives of other herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredient groups. Examples of suitable components are diazines, 4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivatives, benzothiadiazinones, 2,6-dinitroanilines, N-phenylcarbamates, thiolcarbamates, halocarboxylic acids, triazines, amides, ureas, diphenyl ethers, triazinones, uracils, benzofuran derivatives, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives, quinolinecarboxylic acids, etc.
It may also be useful to apply the N-phenyltetrahydrophthalimides of the formula I, either alone or in combination with other herbicides, in admixture with other crop protection agents, e.g., agents for combating pests or phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. The compounds may also be mixed with solutions of mineral salts used to remedy nutritional or trace element deficiencies. Non-phytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.
